Pixel 6 Pro Reviews

[olbriar]

Personally, I'm in no position to purchase a new phone being as I invested last year.
However I have a friend that is very interested and desires some hands on information before upgrading.

Please share your take on this new Google phone here. All observations are appreciated.

I'm quite interested too. If this lives up to it's reputation, I'd buy!

I've been using a Pixel 6 Pro as my daily driver for a little while now, and I've got to say: the hype is real! It's my favorite Pixel (nay, phone) yet.

I probably got a bum 6 Pro unit, since not only did I not have the slow fingerprint and screen flickering, but the double-tap to open camera app, the flip phone to activate selfie mode, "flip to shh", and "do not disturb" all did not work. The biggest mistake I made was to first spend hours setting and customizing the phone, and then test out the features. I returned the Pro and am now thinking of buying only the base 6 model (which is more price competitive) and give it another try. Google tech support is extremely poor, (after hours of wait they made me do a safe-mode reboot and then factory reset), but neither resolved the issues. The shine is off the pre-delivery Pixel hype and Google has a lot of work ahead of them if they wish to compete in a meaningful way with the other flagship phones.

I had this fingerprint issue just like some users and I was fed up with it, so I removed my screen protector. Now I don't want my display to get scratches so I was looking for other 3rd party screen protectors, then one of my friends recommended Gadgetshieldz film protector and I installed it and now my fingerprint sensor is working fine. I don't know if this holds for a long time but I'll review it after 4-5 months for other users!

But there are issues for other users so maybe an update would solve it!
